Scarlett Johansson is shooting Rock That Body at JFK airport in New York. It’s about a group of female friends on a stag weekend and sh-t goes sideways. If I had to guess I’d say this is the scene where Scarjo, presumably the bride, is saying goodbye to her fiancé? I’m assuming she’s the bride because she’s being made to wear a headband with two dicks on it. Full Story

Today in Your Dreams Are Coming True, Helen Mirren Edition, Helen Mirren told Elle magazine that she will, in fact, be appearing in Fast 8, the eighth Fast/Furious movie that is somehow not called F8. Full Story

In general I found the presenter choices kind of frustrating last night. Sure, you can’t stack the deck only with actors from the nominated material, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing, say, Patrick Wilson in slightly-less-scripted action. Or Joshua Jackson. Even give me Heidi Klum up there making things happen, please. Full Story

Those photos yesterday of Johnny Depp and his wife, Amber Heard, aka “Amanda” were so gorgeous and glorious, I wanted an excuse to post them again, to help you with not snacking.

Earlier this week I got an email from reader Christine with the subject line “Please go see a movie you like”, and the message was, “I have to say I feel awful for you, you haven’t seen a movie (at least reviewed on LaineyGossip) you like in months and months.” That’s not entirely true—I liked CinderellaFull Story

IDRIS ELBA IS SHOOTING A NEW SERIES OF LUTHER!!!
At least that’s what the paps are saying. Oh, and guess what? Gidget is in it! That’s Rose Leslie, from Game Of Thrones. Because I can never say her character’s name. Idris & Gidget!
Over in New York last night, some major stars showed up for the SeriousFun Children’s network: Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Danny DeVito, all smiles, friendly and fun with each other, but no Amal. Full Story

Just watched the first trailer for Helen Mirren’s new film Woman In Gold based on the true story of Holocaust survivor Maria Altmann fight to reclaim the family art that was stolen by the Nazis, including Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, the woman in gold. Ryan Reynolds plays her lawyer. Full Story

I need you to see this.
Check out Helen Mirren, hot as F-CK, on a shoot for L’Oreal in London the other day. At some point, as she’s leaning against the bridge, a jogger comes by for a stretch? I don’t know if this is part of the ad. Maybe, since I’m not sure anyone would have been allowed to get so close to her otherwise, but I want to believe it was a random. Full Story

Well done, casting director. Full Story
